Ok.. I have lots of hiding places in my 72g tank. The fish are all doing great except the coral beauty which seems to have multiple problems. I want to take him out and put in the hospital tank.. How to catch?

 

(Net didnt work..)

1. take the rock out

2.take most of the water out to bring the level just low enough that the fish can barely swim and then net it the put the water right back in

 

either way you look at it, your going to need to take stuff out of the tank

We had luck catching a Bi-color angel in one of our tanks using a trap setup. We took a small critter keeper like this one to make a cheap trap:

and baited it with food. A rock placed inside will keep it from floating around and if you position it right the lid will stay open. You could probably rig the lid to shut on the fish but we just waited to catch the fish in there and then we just reached in and shut the lid.

 

By the way, we have had luck catching other fish with the same trap.
